India’s decisive seven-wicket victory in the Delhi Test gave them a 2-0 series sweep over the West Indies. Head coach Darren Sammy invited Gautam Gambhir to enter the West Indies dressing room after the win so he may address the visiting squad players.
On the morning of the fifth, the hosts completed the last Test in little over an hour, needing to chase down 121 runs to win the series 2-0. With KL Rahul still undefeated at 58, Shubman Gill’s squad proceeded to dominate the Caribbean team, winning this Test match for the tenth time in a row.
Gill’s (129*) and Yashasvi Jaiswal’s (175) contributions enabled the side to record a huge first-inning total. In the meantime, Kuldeep Yadav won Player of the Match for taking 12 wickets in the two innings. For his all-around performance, Ravindra Jadeja was chosen Player of the Series.
Despite the defeat, the West Indies were praised for their performance in the second innings, as Shai Hope (103), who had to follow on, and John Campbell (115) struck hundreds to lead their side to 390. Instead of concentrating only on the outcome, Gautam Gambhir sought to highlight their character during their bout.
“I believe the most crucial thing I was conveying to Darren was how you guys conduct yourselves both on and off the pitch. The way you guys conduct yourselves off the pitch is excellent, and I believe that my squad and many teams across the world can learn a lot from your humility. (0:56) “I think you guys are great role models off the pitch, but on the pitch, you’re absolutely ruthless,” Gautam Gambhir stated in a video that BCCI shared.
You have the chance to take an extraordinary action: Gautam Gambhir
He went on to say that West Indies cricket is essential to World Cricket and that they have the chance to achieve something extraordinary every time they don their Test jersey, something that the T20 format does not offer.
One thing I would want to mention is something I have always held to be true. This is completely genuine, even though you might think I’m simply saying it for fun. There is no need for world cricket in Western cricket. Western cricket is necessary for world cricket. Do not forget that. Western cricket is necessary for world cricket. And a strong cricketing nation is a good, strong test side. The opposite does not apply. You have the chance to do something unique when you don that jersey, which is something that not many T20 players have,” Gautam Gambhir continued. ”
